Specifications, side by side

| Specification | Shoei RF-1400 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet | Bosch ICON 26A24A Premium Beam Windshield Wiper Blades Pair |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹52,900 | ₹2,899 |
| Weight | 1.55 kg | 400 g the pair |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Beam versus conventional | not published | A beam blade has no external frame, so there is nothing for monsoon debris to catch in and no frame to distort in heat |
| Certification | DOT FMVSS 218 and SNELL M2020, the US standards. Also ECE 22.06 on European variants | not published |
| Fitment | not published | Check the specific car before ordering -- the pairing is not universal |
| Indian requirement | Helmets sold in India must carry the ISI mark to IS 4151. DOT, SNELL and ECE do not satisfy Indian law, and ISI marking is checked at enforcement | not published |
| Life | not published | 6 to 12 months in Indian conditions. UV and heat degrade wiper rubber far faster than rain wears it |
| Replacement | Every 5 years from manufacture, or immediately after any impact, regardless of visible damage | not published |
| Rubber | not published | Dual rubber compound with a graphite coating for quieter wiping |
| Shell | Multi-ply matrix fibreglass, six shell sizes | not published |
| Sizes | not published | 26 inch and 24 inch -- this specific pairing fits a defined list of cars and no others |
| This is not a quality judgement | SNELL M2020 is a demanding standard. The point is legal compliance in India, which is a separate question from protective performance | not published |
| Why six shell sizes | Most manufacturers use two or three shells across all sizes, so smaller sizes carry an oversized shell. Six means the shell actually matches the head | not published |
| Why size matters | not published | A blade too long fouls the A-pillar or the opposite blade; too short leaves an unswept band directly in the driver's view |
